Popular Post cotrusvlad Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Salutare, Fiind mega fan telecaster, visam la unul cu o configuratie anume, mai exact gat cu rosewood, doze filtertron, bigsby, binding si ceva vopsea nitro draguta (oscilam intre lake placid blue si sherwood green) Am inceput anul trecut prin primavara proiectul. La baza e un Fender Telecaster Baja 60s. Chitara a fost a unui prieten care isi aduce toate instrumentele la mine la setup deci o stiam destul de bine, ii facusem intre timp pragus de os, tastele se prezentau ok, mi-a placut, am zis ca e candidatul perfect asa ca pe cand s-a decis sa se desparta de ea, a ajuns la mine. Incepusem sa cumpar toate cele necesare din mai multe locuri (Stewmac, eBay, Thomann) doze Gretsch Filtertron HS potentiometre CTS knoburi Allparts switch 3 way Fender bigsby b5 kit binding + lipici vopsea nitro sherwood green metallic Primul pas a fost sa dezmembrez toata chitara si sa dau jos finish-ul poly, apoi sa umplu cavitatea dozei de bridge si alte gauri de care nu mai aveam nevoie. Dupa asta am bagat corpul la o masina de rindeluit pentru a-l plana. Nu mai retin cat am luat, ori 0,5 ori 1mm de pe fata/spate. Motivul principal pentru care am facut asta este pentru ca marginile corpului sunt rotunjite si daca frezam asa canalul pentru binding, nu se aseza bine. A urmat frezarea pentru binding, lipirea lui, si dat un strat de sealer. Urmeaza frezarea pentru dozele noi, data gaura pentru firul de masa ce va veni la bridge, slefuit primul strat de sealer, dat altul si apoi... mai vedem Aici e o alta chitara vopsita cu vopseaua mea, ca idee. Dupa ce se da polish iese oglinda. PS: La chitara lucrez impreuna cu un prieten, insa trebuie sa recunosc, el face operatiunile mai complicate, frezari, vopsit. Eu nu am asa multa experienta inca la capitolul asta. Edited February 16, 2023 by cotrusvlad 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackthorn Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Frumos proiect, pacat de chitara donor, care nu era nici ea deloc rea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotrusvlad Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 @Blackthornda, era draguta, am vrut neaparat ca baza sa fie o chitara fender. Avand deja un telecaster fender pe reteta clasica...am zis, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renan Santos Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 just wanted to paste it here for the similar taste/project - this is hand-built in my home country, Brazil, only with native woods is your project finished? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotrusvlad Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 @Renan Santosreally nice! What pickups are those? Tv Jones or Gretsch? No it's not finished yet, just got the binding and sealer on the body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renan Santos Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) TV Jones - I tested them against the lollars and the gretsch one, at the time of construction. The TV ones won based on the balance between clarity and "chime" - gretsch was just less alive(?) than both lollar and TV - and the lollar were hard to pass but they had too much highs, comparatively - beautiful "chime" but a little too much for my taste.

cotrusvlad Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 @Renan Santos Tv Jones are great, I've watched a lot of demos and comparisons between the TV Jones and Gretsch before buying them. Bottom line for me was that the TV's price wasn't worth it. They sound great but the 200 euros difference it's not justified soundwise for pe personally. These are the two videos that helped me the most to decide: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the two videos that helped me the most to decide: I`d have to agree, 200eur difference, not there (diminishing returns is massive when talking pick ups) - I just dont remember having had that issue with massive price differences at the time. it has been a while and I got everything from used market, so the discount was there to reduce the impact.
